Chapter 396: Tricking the Corpse
On an early spring night, the cool breeze blows, and in the desolate suburbs, the shadows of the trees are like ghosts, and the crows are hoarsely crying, gnawing at the rotting corpses everywhere.
There was a foul smell, and the smoke was so suffocating that people were about to suffocate.
This is a mass grave outside Anji County, but any nameless corpse will be thrown here and let the beasts bite it.
In the meantime, a boy of about 10 years old carried a flickering lamp and wandered among the corpses, as if rummaging for something. But in the vast night, what can you see?
He broke down a little and shouted hoarsely: "Brother! Where are you? Arlene is here to take you home, brother......"
Suddenly, he felt someone grab him at the ankle, and he fell to the ground in fright, and a lamp was blown out by the wind.
"What...... Who? Still is...... What the hell? He shuddered and poked the hand with the stick of the lantern.
"Save ...... Help me......"
Fortunately, there was still flint and steel on his body, he quickly lit the lamp and candle, and when he looked closely, it turned out to be a person with a cloak and a corpse?!
He took out a small mouthful of pancake from his body and said, "You...... Who are you? I...... That's all I can eat, you eat, let me go! ”
The corpse had eaten all his pancakes, and seemed to have strength, and asked, "Where is this?" ”
"This is a mass grave, since you are not dead, ten miles further east, it will be the county seat of Anji." The boy was anxious to find his brother, and said, "Don't pester me, I still have something." ”
"My name is Su Yingyun," Yingyun sighed that she didn't go to see the king of Hades, and after recovering a little bit of strength, she propped herself up and said, "You saved me, and I will repay you." ”56
The boy said alarmingly, "I...... You don't have to repay it. ”
Ying Yun grabbed his little hand and said, "I vaguely heard you looking for someone just now, is it your brother?" Perhaps, I can help. ”
The boy hurriedly asked, "This brother, have you seen my brother?" ”
"Brother?" Yingyun was a little confused, is this kid's eyes bad? As soon as she touched her head, she suddenly remembered that she had cut all her hair, didn't she look like a man?
Yingyun said: "I haven't seen it, but in the past few days, I seem to feel that people have been thrown over one after another, when did your brother disappear, maybe I can know where he was thrown roughly." ”
"Two days ago."
Ying Yun thought about it for a while, with a somewhat confused impression, she pointed to the small dirt pit on the left, and said, "You go there to look for ......"
As if he had hope, the boy ran to the small dirt pit, rummaging through them one by one, despite the smell of the corpses. Yingyun followed him, looking at his resolute appearance, it was really a deep brotherhood.
It was not until the first rays of the dawn came and the pheasants in the mountains chirped for the first time that the boy finally found his longing brother, who had already died.
"Brother!" The boy cried and dragged him up with all his might.
Yingyun saw that he had little strength, so she helped him move the body of his deceased brother to the ground. The boy fell to his knees and wept for a long time, remorseful to himself, saying, "I have harmed my brother." ”
Yingyun was a little moved, and said, "People can't be resurrected after death, so you better find a place for your brother to be buried." ”
The boy wiped away his tears, found an open place, and dug a pit of earth. Yingyun received a little favor from him, and she naturally wanted to help out of this matter of being in the ground, and the two dug a big pit together.
